Well maintained and comprehensively equipped example of this attractive performance cruiser. Her lifting keel reduces draft to 2'5" (0.8m), whilst her twin rudders allow her to dry out upright and provide excellent manoeuvrability under sail or power. With her keel down she handles like a deep keel yacht and is a delight to sail. During the 30 years of her current ownership all her equipment has been regularly serviced and upgraded or replaced as necessary. She has been extensively cruised but never raced and carefully laid up ashore every winter.
